"The distance is seven hundred steps. If you are from a high position, the muzzle position is inclined at 35 degrees... Taking into account the wind speed and height difference, it can be reached by filling eight and a half kilograms of powder. Unless the barrel cannot bear it, otherwise..."
Guo Kun asked nervously: "Brother-in-law, will this work?"
Lin Jue didn't answer, but kept saying to Liang Qi: "Move it, move it. The barrel is lowered three inches, yes, it looks like this."
Guo Kun turned his head helplessly and looked at the people around him. Everyone was also confused, and they had no idea. The range of this powerful cannon is only 500 steps. It should be no problem to shoot 700 steps from a high position. But it stands to reason that the muzzle of the cannon should be aimed at
Focusing on the target, Master Lin wrote and drew for a long time, and then pointed the muzzle at the sky. No matter how it looked, it looked like it was hitting the air. Everyone didn't understand. Originally, Master Lin proposed using the only divine power.
Everyone still thought that the idea of using general artillery to bombard the flame vehicles in front of the formation was feasible. But now they were unsure.
Lin Jue didn't have time to care about their thoughts. Shenwei Cannon spent a lot of manpower to move from the back mountain of the West Mountain to the east slope of the East Mountain. He finally found a flat ground to settle on. He was too busy calculating the ballistics and had no time to think about it.
What were everyone thinking? Because of the distance, Lin Jue had to rack his brains to recall the knowledge he had learned on Earth. Lin Jue had to ensure a hit, otherwise he would not have a second chance.
"Commander, are you ready? Let's start?" Liang Qi said, sweating profusely. Although he did not understand why the muzzle of the gun was pointing upward, he did not question the opinion of the military counselor.
"Okay, the charge is eight and a half kilograms. Everyone should evacuate to prevent the chamber from exploding." Lin Jue shouted.
Everyone rolled their eyes because they still had such worries, which showed how unreliable this method was.
Gunpowder was filled into the cabin, and huge iron ball shells were filled into the barrel. Lin Jue shouted loudly: "Light the fire."
Liang Qi lit the fuse with a fire stick, and suddenly green smoke shot out and sparks flew. After the fuse burned out, he heard a bang, as if the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering, and like a thunder above the valley.
A cloud of smoke and dust and a tongue of flame rushed out from the barrel. Everyone's ears were buzzing and they were almost deafened.
The next moment, the ninth flame car from north to south made a roar below, and a large iron ball the size of a sea bowl fell from the sky with a roaring sound, slamming into the iron tank body of the flame car. This can be described as
It is powerful. The iron tank truck is designed to prevent crossbows from being penetrated, and it is also bombarded by the most powerful iron-headed crossbows, so the iron tank is almost an inch thick. But the design does not include protection against large iron balls weighing dozens of kilograms falling from the sky.
As he said this, the huge iron ball came down, immediately smashing and cracking a corner of the tin tank truck. Most of the kerosene in the tank truck was immediately spilled out.
"Beautiful!" cheered from the hillside.
"Send the signal, hurry up!" Lin Jue shouted loudly.
A signal bomb soared into the sky, and the next moment, a row of human heads emerged from behind the thorny rocks at the bottom of the hillside. These people were all top archers, and they could draw the power bow. They were about 120 steps down the mountain, just what a powerful arrow could do.
The coverage area. A stream of rockets were as fast as meteors, heading towards the flame car at the foot of the mountain to cover it. The direction where all the rockets concentrated their fire was the No. 9 flame car that was smashed and leaked kerosene.
Although under the influence of the wind, many arrows deviated from the direction due to shooting into the wind, a dozen arrows still landed near the No. 9 Flame Car.
This is enough. In fact, as long as one rocket falls into place, it can be declared complete. The moment the rocket falls, fire shoots into the sky. The No. 9 flame car fell into the sea of fire in an instant. Black smoke billowed into the sky.
"Fight the fire, put out the fire quickly!" The officers and soldiers were in chaos. Someone shouted loudly.
.
"Save the fire, run away, otherwise you will be shattered to pieces." There are still people who understand, and they know what it means when a kerosene and iron tank truck is on fire.
Just when everyone was panicking, there was a loud noise like thunder. The No. 9 Flame Car exploded violently. The flames shot straight into the sky, and the smoke clouds reached a height of a hundred feet. Heavy rain of flames fell on the surrounding Flame Cars.
.The surrounding flame cars that had not yet closed their kerosene valves were also caught in the flames the next moment.
"Boom! Boom!" A series of explosions sounded, and flame cars began to explode one after another, and black clouds rolled into the sky. Countless fragments of fire rain scattered within a hundred steps, igniting the valley.
The vegetation in the fire also ignited the vegetation on the hillside.
"Boom! Boom!" The explosion continued, and the power of the explosion seemed to be felt even dozens of miles away. Not to mention the officers and soldiers on the nearby hillside and in the valley. The huge shock wave carried thorns.
The scorching heat wave swept across the ground, causing sand and rocks to fly on the ground. The entire valley and the slopes of the east mountain were shrouded in black smoke, as if a devil suddenly descended on the world and the end of the world came.
The seemingly endless explosion lasted less than a cup of tea, but to everyone in this situation, it seemed like it was longer than a lifetime. Guo Xu’s ears were buzzing as he walked from the distant rocks.
When he finally poked his head out, what he saw was the chaos of the army formation in front. People and horses were running in a hurry, and there were screams of ghosts and wolves howling everywhere. And at the foot of the mountain, more than a dozen flame vehicles were burning with raging fire.
The surrounding ground was also full of fire.
"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?" Guo Xu shouted loudly with a pale face.
"Your Majesty, we...we have caught the Luoyan Army. All eighteen flame cars caught fire and exploded. The front team suffered heavy casualties. I suggest that the Emperor retreats to the outside of the canyon, and I will clean up the mess." Zhao
Yuanyasu said in a trembling voice.
Guo Xu was stunned for a long time, and said angrily: "How is it possible? How could this happen? You are a bunch of trash, I have raised you a bunch of trash, how can something happen? Lin Jue... It must be Lin Jue, this kind of ghost idea is the only one
He can figure it out. If I don’t leave, I will kill him with my own hands, this bitch. I will cut him into pieces..."
All the generals remained silent, and the only answers Guo Xu received were the whistling of the wind and the sound of crackling flames.
…
A fire also broke out on the hillside. The explosion flames fell on the hillside and ignited some dead grass and trees. However, the fire oil was not sprayed completely. The fire only burned dozens of steps below the hillside. When the fire spread upward, it was not very easy.
It was fierce. After being blocked by several firewalls and fire breaks, as well as manual efforts to put out the fire, the fire had become just a few small blazes on the mountainside.
Under the fight of thousands of people specially organized to put out the fire, the fire no longer posed a threat. Although it caused some losses, the main fortifications on the hillside were not burned. Above the mountainside, the defensive Luoyan Army soldiers still held on to the fortifications.
On top of the arrow tower, a strict formation was prepared.
At the bottom of the hillside, the explosion of the flame car lasted for more than an hour. From chen hour until close to noon, the fire that soared into the sky slowly extinguished. However, the surrounding rocks on the ground had been burned so hot that it was impossible to get close within a hundred steps.
After the smoke and dust cleared, looking at the place where the explosion and fire broke out from a distance, both the attacking and defending soldiers were stunned. There were more than a dozen huge deep pits left on the ground at the foot of the hillside. Those were caused by the explosion of the flame car.
Terrifying consequences. A series of huge craters on the dark and barren ground, as if it was a strange and terrifying scene caused by an alien meteorite. The nearby rocks were burned and collapsed, and during the cooling process, a huge rock collapsed, revealing the inside.
The white lime comes. The whole house is big
The small rocks were hard burned into lime.
The iron carriage of the flame cart was burned and melted, lying on the ground in a weird shape. The horses pulling the cart and the huge chariot had been burned so much that nothing could be seen. The ground around the pothole was in a mess, and some objects fell after the explosion.
There were rubbles and hundreds of charred corpses that were no longer human. These were the officers and soldiers operating the flame car. The explosion happened too fast. They had no time to escape from the safe area, so they were poured down by the rain of fire.
They were burned alive and turned into charcoal around them.
The power of this big explosion exceeded the expectations of everyone present, and it was simply terrifying and shocking.
But no matter what, the flame cart was destroyed. Even if the imperial army still carried some kerosene, it could not be used to set fires. Without the flame cart, they could not spray kerosene on the vegetation. And even if there are still flame carts,
, and no one dared to let the flame car move forward.
On the hillside, although the officers and soldiers of the Luoyan Army were shocked by the scene just now, they were also shocked with joy. The problem that everyone was worried about was actually solved by Lin Jue. Who would have thought that the "Shenwei" that was almost scrapped
The general's cannon actually performed a miraculous feat, hitting the target with one shot and destroying all the opponent's flame cars. People's admiration for Lin Jue was simply indescribable.
The fussing before launching the cannonball, writing down calculations, drawing various trajectories, calculating various distances, talking about wind resistance angles and other words and actions were obviously not mystical actions. It was precisely because of those actions that I was able to do it in the seventh century.
A hundred steps away on the mountainside, a shot hit the flame car. It can be seen that what Lin Jue is thinking in his mind has long been beyond the understanding and reach of his group. Some people even regard Lin Jue as a witch-like figure in their hearts, and are in awe and fear.
admiration.
While everyone was rejoicing, Lin Jue felt a little bit disappointed. That was because not long ago he inspected the "Shenwei General" cannon and found that the barrel of the "Shenwei General" cannon was twisted and the gun was scrapped.
I just discovered the purpose of this Shenwei General Cannon, which can kill important enemy facilities and targets, but found that it has been scrapped. This feeling is complicated and regretful.
From the time it was built to today, this cannon has actually only fired two shots. One was the test firing that day in Xishan, and the other was today's shocking shot. Although it reversed the fate of the village to some extent,
But the lifespan is too short. Lin Jue knew that unless the problem of craftsmanship and materials was solved, it was still wishful thinking to build a real cannon. This was obviously a problem with the fine iron material, which could not withstand the impact of gunpowder.
However, this time the launch was actually beyond the capabilities of General Shenwei. He relied on increasing the amount of gunpowder and precise calculations to hit the target. It was lucky that the overloaded launch did not cause the barrel to explode. After the iron bullet was fired, the gun body finally withstood the
It is a blessing among misfortunes. To a certain extent, he has accelerated the destruction of General Shenwei. If the charge is fired normally, it may be possible to fire it multiple times, but it is definitely not the case now.
Scrapped.
Lin Jue knew that the casting of experimental cannons like the Shenwei General would not be carried out for a long time. The materials and costs cannot be afforded, and cost-effectiveness has to be considered. This means that the Shenwei General Cannon has been used to this day.
In the future, there may be a chance to recast it, but that must be done only after having developed more suitable materials and possessing a large amount of supplies. But in any case, this powerful general cannon was born, although it was only
It only took two shots, but it already amazed the world. The short-lived splendor was enough to make it a legend and stay in people's memory.
Lin Jue decided to keep the Divine Power Cannon without melting it down and find a place to display it in the future to let the world know the story of the Divine Power General.
